Porting of existing number

Hoping to get a quicker reply if you have this pulled over within a day or two as I do not want to use my former Carrier

CarPlay When?

So far, I enjoy using it. It works. Though there are still bugs here and there. One of my bosses isn’t able to send me photos from his iPhone. Not sure which one he has. But others have no problems. And sometimes I don’t hear/get a notification sound. Specifically over Bluetooth. When calling via CarPlay, I do see the contact info of who’s calling. Any way to see a notification that we got a message via CarPlay?

Waste of Money

I was using this for work to communicate with multiple clients. The very fact that I sent a few messages that were copies of one another BLOCKED my service. When I contacted them about this issue they told me to find another app!! What?! It’s such a waste of money.

App error

The minute I downloaded the app I received an error message after attempting to sign up, like most people would I tried again twice no luck, the next day after letting it rest I tried again another error message I reached out to support and they told me they couldn’t help me because I tried to sign up more than once and I wouldn’t be able to use the app

Error

All you get is error 403 and I did the steps in article nothing.

Deceptive billing

They charged me even after I canceled the service. Then they gave me only 23% of my requested refund. Let’s go back again, I promptly cancelled this service with an adequate amount of time during the prescription period, and they STILL CHARGED ME! Use another service with better business practices.

Ok

When I’m on a call it will display the wrong caller id info of the incoming call.

Worst app ever

I wish I could put a 0 star because even a 1 star is to high for this app. It just restricts you when you use it and then they don’t ever lift it and support is even worst. I was using this for work but would recommend just getting a line on another phone then using this app. Waste of time and money and the worst support ever.

Worst app ever

I got banned on 2 different accounts for calling to many numbers. Worst app ever don’t recommend

Bad

Requires a phone number to sign up to get a phone number lol

Poor staff

Got blocked my a staff member for simply using the app, wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.

Poor communication

I was using the app as well as several of my team members, yes we use it to call people, and I then was blocked with no warning, I woke up this morning with my account blocked which my payment was charged 3 days ago funny enough… you’re not allowed to be unblocked from the app, the support people say “sorry, that’s all I can do” that’s the most robotic answer they could’ve given me.

Update Glitch

Today’s update broke it! (iPhone 17)

Poor Quality

“This is the most horrible phone service app out there. They’re so worried about their appearance? They should be more worried about function. Every survey is about appearance. My messages don’t go through to people, almost weekly. I don’t get notifications for messages, so often I’ll open the app to send something out and have messages waiting. YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD. I am a doctor utilizing an app so I don’t have to carry two phones while raising a family and it has not only lost me business, it has failed me in showing up for my clients and operating a professional establishment. Their “support” has never helped me either but has always just pushed off the problem. I’d only recommend this app to someone looking for a CHEAP phone line to let their business FAIL.”

DEVELOPER PLEASE RESPOND

I loved this app to death. It worked great and did everything I needed it to do amazingly. Yet one day I was randomly banned and cut off from the app now when I try to log in I just get an error code and have no idea why. Please help!

Overpriced

Not worth the money

Restricted account for no reason

Save your time and money - don’t use this app!!! Restricted my account I was using for business because of zero reason and support said they can’t help. Horrible company

Has big flaws

Two biggest flaws: #1. You can’t save names of contacts in the app only. #2. When someone’s calls me, my phone doesn’t ring no matter what settings I set. I only see missed calls and have to call them back. When I do, the app uses a stranger number to make the call.

Trash

Doesn’t let me make my account so what’s the point

Error creating account

I can't even create an account. I get a 8293 error.

TOTAL FAIL FOR THIS APP!
